Episode 31: Azan and Novax
Our heroes regrouped as they loaded the Dark Mirror onto The Devourer. It was decided that a tactical approach would be required to defeat Baahaamoot and that it would be best to acquire magical items that would aid them in their goals. Nameless, the spirit of the Dark Mirror, revealed the Cauldron of Ehx-Prehzo in ruins to the west. It is an item capable of brewing an exilir rendering the drinker immune to sleep.
While traveling westward through the skies, the party stumbled upon Azan the Wanderer piloting his propel-o-cycle in the skies above the desert. The party welcomed him aboard where his suitcase reveal a pop-up shop of many curiosities. The party acquired a few items. Should they want to find him in the future, Azan told them he could sometimes be found in Ab-Rah, the flying gnomish city currently on a flight path on the west coast of Eternum. Describing what they'd seen in the Dark Mirror, Azan told the party that it sounded like they were looking for the ruins of Khad-Abrah. He departed with a warm goodbye and a warning that the desert is never short on terrors of its own.
The party arrived at the ruined city of Khad-Abrah. Bjorn flew from the ship to the top of a delapidated city hall of sorts. He met Novax the Blue Dragon who'd make Khad-Abrah his lair. After spilling the beans about how they'd located the cauldron, Novax's attention was fixed on acquiring the Dark Mirror. The conversation turned sound and ended with Bjorn taking a lightning bolt to the face.
